FP&A

About Base

Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

About the Role

This is the connective tissue of Base’s finance & business operations function, sitting between our deep work in the business and our financing and capital allocation decisions. As a right hand to the Head of Finance, this role will own the FP&A operating system across our corporate model, annual operating plan, long-range plan, and more.

What You’ll Do

• Own our corporate model end-to-end, including the integration of structured project finance vehicles into a cohesive whole at scale.

• Run the AOP process — annual plan and quarterly refresh.

• Run our monthly FP&A operating cadence and the rituals and reviews that go with them.

• Own the weekly rolling 13-week cash forecast and monthly investor pack; partner with the Head of Finance, capital markets, and the CEO on positioning and disclosures.

• Co-design and operate the controls layer — preventive gates, detective monitoring, corrective actions, and policy — across capital allocation, headcount, vendor contracts, pricing, and treasury, so that the company can move fast without crashing.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience across investment banking, private equity, corporate FP&A, or strategic finance.

• Built and owned an integrated 3-statement corporate model in production.

• Run a real AOP and monthly operating cadence at meaningful scale; comfortable producing both the precise numbers and the narrative around them.

• Investor-grade communication — has stood up board materials, fundraising decks, or investor updates with a CEO/CFO and survived the scrutiny.

• Comfortable operating directly with the CEO, board, and senior partners across the org; high judgment on what matters and what doesn’t.

• Strong opinions on FP&A as a discipline — driver trees, scorecards, BvA, controls — and a track record of building these systems, not just running someone else’s.

• Advanced Excel and integrated modeling; SQL fluency or willingness to get there fast; comfort with BI tools (Omni, Looker), ERP (NetSuite), and using AI to compress reporting cycle time.

About The Team

The Base finance & business operations team is responsible for providing clear visibility on past and future performance across the business, financing our growth, capital allocation decisions, and supporting the broader Base team on key performance drivers. To succeed, Base must raise and deploy tens of billions of dollars, maintain sustainable unit economics, exercise extreme operating leverage, and balance supply/demand and growth/profitability in a complex and high-pace environment. The Finance team enables these by (i) building toward omniscience with sharp analytics and tools for observability, (ii) integrating with the business to support operational decisions, (iii) establishing tight controls and processes to cull complexity, and (iv) presenting Base to investors effectively.

Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
